Doris Norton

Doris Norton is an Italian electronic music pioneer who began her career in the late 1970s and became one of the first artists to bridge the worlds of computer technology and music. Sometimes referred to as the “Mother of electronic music,” she was also notably associated with Apple and IBM in the early 1980s, creating music that showcased the capabilities of cutting-edge computer systems of the time. Her work spans genres from experimental electronic to synthpop and techno, and she is known for her highly conceptual albums like Nortoncomputerforpeace and Artificial Intelligence.

Before diving into solo electronic music, Norton was part of the progressive rock scene and worked with the Italian band Jacula. Her solo work stands out for its futuristic vision and the integration of scientific and technological themes, often decades ahead of mainstream digital music trends. Norton's innovative spirit and pioneering use of computers in music have earned her a cult following and a lasting legacy in electronic and experimental music circles.
